    What was your worst packout?

    Been many years now, not sure which season was the toughest on me as a Guide/Packer/cook, the one I had busted ribs or the one I had a biblical hemorrhoid flare up!

    Pergola wood

    Pergola wood

    As mentioned, as long as you can avoid burying posts in soil, your choice of lumber will do just fine for many years with some proper coatings. Footings of some sort are the way to go, for sure, and from the way it sounds , go beefy with snow load and precautions for wind (fasteners)

    The New Cam Hanes Flick

    Either Cams wife is the most tolerant super cool babe on the planet or she can't wait till he leaves again so she can schtoink the Amazon dude! I am sorry, but the more I peruse this all, I believe it is ego and vanity that drive some of these icons!

    Everything but Hunttalk

    It baffles me how we managed to kill any elk all those years ago without the internet and this plethora of information. And scouting, WTF was scouting? We used to just call it "happy hour"!

    Snowshoeing

    I worked at Redfeather snowshoes once upon a time! They are some good shoes. Spring snow I can get by with any ski pole, but deep powder I like big baskets on my poles. I did the SAR, ski patrol gig many years ago back home in Colorado. I was not on em much for fun, it was usually a mission, so...

    Realization - My Mom is why I’m on Hunttalk

    I take care of my Ma and the reason I am on hunt talk is she takes up most of my once available free time to hunt, so I hunt vicariously through you guys!

    Metalworking Hunttalkers!

    Interesting thread. I bought a little flux core welder and a similar size plasma cutter this winter as I needed to do some welding at work and getting the maintenance dude to do it required a local election! Anyhoo, thankfully, my hands are steady and I perused some videos and have been quite...

    J0hn Day River - Thirtymile to Cottonwood

    The shitter is paramount if one wishes to many of these floats. Required on most raft trips that require a permit. NRS and some others sell them. They are called groovers as the original system was a .50 cal / mini gun ammo can and it left grooves in your butt! Anyhoo, the good ones aren't...

    Pinched nerve in shoulder

    I believe those ailments can be rectified with proper exercises and posture , not to mention a bit of weight training. For me it came down to discipline as pert near all of my jobs have been physical , I was not too interested in any extra PT, and a cold beer after work seemed like enough PT for me!

    Pinched nerve in shoulder

    It has been with me since my scout swimmer training and high speed cast and recovery during the Iranian Hostage crisis! The injuries are not in my medical records because we were warned against receiving treatment! So.... 43 yrsish! Old injuries are tough, coyote ugly may have played a role...

    Colorado ski partners wanted

    I believe it may be a bit of all the above, and....from my years on patrol at Winter Park/MJ many of the top dogs in the departments were on to their other seasonal summer jobs. Many of us worked construction in the summer , I was a concrete finisher, so there is that , too! Forest service...

    Calling mature bulls early rut

    I prefer quiet, allowing my senses to remain alert, patience is key and really hard to master. I never bugled , just kept a cow/calf call on me for an emergency! The ambush is where all the fun is, and some incredible luck and the wind in your favor never hurt anything!

    Flooding

    Had a really rapid thaw, then snow and rain....farmers on high ground aren't complaining!

    Flooding

    It is definitely sporty around here. I was shoveling 18" of snow last week. Yesterday I had to get to mowing. Have bridge repair to do here on farm east of Lacrosse, but my repairs from last fall held up remarkably well on the one side.

    Do any American Boomers here remember the quality lawn mowers of old?

    We had these mega pricey walk behind reel mowers for the greens where I worked a few summers in the high country. Beautiful pieces of machinery. You took the wheels off when you got to the green. Man what a beautiful course that was before the pine beetles killed "the rough" and the E...
